Donald Trump: Black Political Pundit Tavis Smiley is ‘Racist’
Mediaite ^ | 1/12/16 | Lindsey Ellefson

Posted on 01/12/2016 7:57:53 PM PST by Impala64ssa

Republican front-running presidential candidate Donald Trump hit back at prolific talk-show host Tavis Smiley, who called him “an unrepentant, irascible, religious and racial arsonist” on a recent episode of This Week on ABC.

That Smiley would discuss Trump’s perceived racial arson is not surprising considering he was appearing on George Stephanopoulos‘s show to discuss his latest book, The Covenant With Black America: Ten Years Later. As Smiley’s book tour rolls on, Trump’s history publicly pursuing his detractors indicates that this battle will see more airtime very soon.

Video at link. Methinks Mr. Smiley protests too much. The ones who point their fingers are the ones with the filthy hands.

Nothing like stating the obvious.

Trump has 20% of the black vote. They are just trying to get the runaways back on the DemonRat plantation.

Tavis Smiley just wants some attention to sell books.

Smiley is just a token Black face on the MSM.

If it wasn't for his skin color...no one would care what he has to say. (Who really cares now?)

Donald is right about this. It’s been apparent for a long time.

Trump has 20% of the black vote.
And if Trump, or Cruz, Rubio, or whoever wins the Repub primary gets just 10% of the Black Vote, then stick a fork in Hilary, or Bernie, they're done.

Merely mentioning black racism is crossing a Rubicon of sorts. It undermines the White Privilege thesis that Hillary was touting yesterday. If Trump can make this one stick media heads will absolutely explode because they’ll have to talk about something they’ve systematically discredited for years, and every candidate will have to address it. And it badly needs to be addressed. Love him or hate him, he’s pressing some very sensitive buttons at the moment.

Smiley, and many other black and white liberals are racialists. A number of them might be racists as well, but racialists, see EVERYTHING!!! in terms of color. To these people, everything is reflected through the prism of race. The way you brush your teeth for example.

Think I'm exaggerating? There's very few things racialists don't consider to be racist or biased. Many of them (like Michael Wilbon from ESPN) have said as much. They cannot conceive of a world where their failures might be due to their own efforts and not Evil Whitey.

Tavis Smiley is indeed a racist. One minute watching an interview with Mr. Smiley confirms it.

Looks like the kiddies won’t get any media oxygen for a few days, as Trump sucks it all up, yet again.
